          Robert was born in Charleston, South Carolina, a son of Virginia Palmieri Streuber and the late William Anthony Streuber.  He was an elevator mechanic for 30 years, retiring from Thyssenkrupp Elevators and a member of International Union of Elevator Constructors, Local 135 (IUEC).  Most of Robert’s life was spent in the Charleston/North Charleston/Hanahan area, but recently he and his wife, Inez, were relocating to their second home in Effingham, SC.  Robert was a member of Cokesbury United Methodist Church in North Charleston.

          Robert’s love for NASCAR continued with his childhood dream of racing super trucks in NASCAR and URA tracks at Florence Motor Speedway and Dillon Motor Speedway.  He will be remembered as “an old man living his dreams.”

          He loved grilling, cooking and “front porch sitting” at his Happy Place.  He treasured the many friendships he has in his life, but most of all he LOVED his family.
